Here's the idea:
General: Morathi
BSB: Master on Dark Pegasus, Cloak of Twilight, Heavy Armour, Shield, Sea Dragon Cloak (yes two cloaks, Naggoroth is cold, dammit!) and lance
Lvl 2 sorceress with dispel scroll
2 sets of dark riders with musician, repeaters, and shields
20 repeaters with banner and musician
3 chariots
3 sets of shades with great weapons
5 doomfire warlocks
I think I can successfully outmaneuver anyone with this army and irritate everyone.

Here's the idea: --a bunch of bullshit-- I think I can successfully ... irritate everyone. you got that right. |

Also, how many points is that? Are chariots core? I really really like the idea of warlocks; too bad they aren't core.

The only problem I see with this list is that, while overall dark elfs got a big boost across the board with their universal army rules, this list will still have the same problems that your old list used to have.
Namely, while you are very meneuverable, nothing is that resillient and you don't have a lot of units that can dish out the pain other than morathi.
I like the master as a mobile BSB to put his hold your ground rule to work where you need it most, and I like the shades as warmachine hunters, but I feel like you need some big blocks of infantry to play points denial and hammer/anvil. All your opponent has to do is deploy smart, and your meneuverability no longer matters when you can't get into his flank or back field.
I'd go with a block of spears, a block of executioners, a bsb on foot with the executioners, a lvl 4 on dark peg (not morathi, still too pricey), and then shades for anti-war machine and dark riders/charriots to clear chaff; granted thats for a more traditional, forgiving, all-comers type army.
Although I do think this army would be fun, I just don't think its competitive enough.

It's 1968 in points. The chariots are not core, I'm afraid, and I agree it's too bad the warlocks aren't either. As for not having a resilient infantry unit, I'm well aware of that issue, and I don't care. I like playing unforgiving armies. I'm not looking to completely change the army, that isn't why I posted here.
